Have just been loaned a brilliant book by someone at work. The book one hundred ways for a chicken to train it's human by Diane Parker. This is a funny and quirky book, written for chickens to train us. Sections such as fowl play, pullet power and broody and moody really really made me laugh, and it takes a lot hehe

It really is quite comical. Talks about (obviously aimed at the chicken) not to worry about making its nest in the morning as your human will clean it up. Sometimes your human will just shake an empty tub, don't be fooled, make sure you get everything you can from them! I have been known to do the tapping the empty tub thing! poor chucks

It is physically quite a small book but certainly amusing. Here is one of the pieces of advice it gives to chickens "Free range means you have the right to roam. However you choose to do it, escape on a regular basis and refuse to return until you are ready."
